Many thanks for your comment. I loved your expression – “cute” something to death 🙂 I admit, I had to use all my will-power to keep my hands steady while making the shot. He really was so cute, even when deadly serious 😀

I love the intense focus! That’s what it take sto be able to hunt large prey in the wild. I love seeing those instincts in the young ones when they practice and “play” with each other. Very nice, shot, Takami! Wishing you a very happy day, my friend! :))

Hello Jeannie, good morning from Tokyo!
I loved the intensity in his eyes too! As you say, even when so tiny, their natural instincts are intact, and it’s so much fun to observe them ‘discover’ what’s always been inside them. In this case, hunting potential prey (his sister!) 😀 I’d always wanted to get an ‘intense’ shot of a lion. While not quite Africa, I’m grateful to this little guy for giving me the opportunity :)) Wishing you and yours a great night!
